Well some bad news that turned to good news today. Went to the pick a part in sun valley for there 1/2 off sale. There wasent a SINGLE egt or lx in that junk yard and it was a huge yard. yet locally theres 2 lx and 2 egts i know of complete just more expensive. I drove home and was figuring on getting the engine and waiting till next week on the trans instead of getting them as a combo. I get text on my phone about a egt i offered a low price on ($500) and he agreed out of literally nowhere. Im going to see if its good tomarrow and ill purchase it on wedsday. wow amazing how thing go sometimes. If the egts worth fixing ill dd it for awhile and turn the dx into a monster. im thinking a possible FE3 swap. ive considered a FS-DE because there so many of them and they look good on paper plus i get them for $200 complete engine and trans. but then again there is a klde on a 5 speed from a 626 there also. This motor would be built of course never ran stock and boosted. im still kind of deciding where to go from hereLast edited by WORLDdomination; 11-26-2010, 08:58 PM.1994 Protege DX - Where it began
